“where is the dub?”

“I went to the first FWD>> [...] but to me it was just a load of boys hopping on one leg like a Jungle rave. It was good production, nice if you’re smoking, but not enough going on - and I didn’t get where the dub was. Dub to me is Shaka…”

Noodles interviewed in the new issue of The Wire.

    Thanks for the tip off pale rider - I will definitely reach if I find myself in the area, but this seems unlikely barring UFO abduction… ;)

    Maybe do an online mix sometime? That will keep me AND bill happy.

  5. Chris T:

    Mick Harris said something similar about dubstep on his myspace blog a few weeks ago.

    I’ve yet to have my dubstep “epiphany” but I haven’t been trying very hard (skint). I did like some of that Shackleton stuff my mate played me a while back though.

  6. hmm:

    spose thats why he has no problem baiting it up with his ridiculously stale new dpr releases and shameless cash-in represses then..

  7. john:

    It’s probably still a million times better than 99% of the dubstep promos I get sent, tho!

  8. nah:

    not really, the new ones are just the same as everything else, thats whats sad about it. identikit dubstep from such a pivotal figure…

  9. John:

    What, even the “shameless cash in represses”?!

  10. haha:

    no not them

  11. pale rider:
